Study Reveals Spectacular Money Spent on Shoes

Alguém mais além de mim amou esse sapato purpurinado de passista de escola de samba com esse salto impossível nesse azul magnífico? *-*

Por favor informem a esse cidadão aí embaixo que melisseira viciada não aguenta só comprar 7 pares por ano, que tá mais pra 7 pares por coleção... =/ Ai dos nossos pobres bolsinhos... =/

E sinceramente, tomando como base uma mulher de pelo menos 30 anos, quantas vocês conhecem que têm só 19 pares de sapatos, somando todas as marcas? Ou eu e minhas amigas - melisseiras ou não - somos umas malucas ou essa pesquisa tá meio por fora da realidade. Sério, acho que até meu marido - tradicional ao extremo - tem esse tanto de sapatos!

The average woman will spend more than £16,000 on shoes in her lifetime, research reveals

Girls buy their first pair without mum at 14, then seven pairs a year for the rest of their lives, amounting to 469 pairs.

Spending £34.99 on an average pair means women fork out £244.93 each year and £16,410 over 67 years.

The survey of 3,000 women, by Gocompare.com, shows that the average woman has about 19 pairs of shoes – three pairs with heels, six pairs of flip-flops, sandals, ballet pumps or wedges, three pairs of boots and four pairs of “foxy-style” shoes for nights out. They also have two pairs of work shoes and another two or so “random” purchases.

Four in 10 women say they judge another female by the shoes she has on. More than half find it easy to justify a purchase to themselves but a quarter rarely tell their partner about new ones as “he wouldn’t understand”.

Hayley Parsons, of Gocompare, said: “Shoes are women’s one major weakness.”

Another Study of Women's Habits Reveals Spectacular Money Spent on Shoes

The UK's Sunday Express published the recent results of (yet another) study of women's habits finding that women, on average, spend close to $24,000 on shoes in their lifetimes. The study, conducted by Gocompare.com is hot on the heels of another shock and awe-inducing study revealing the tens of thousands of dollars women spend on their hair throughout their lives.

Though we haven't come across a similarly-publicized survey of men's spending habits of late, it's hard to say how the two sexes compare. When it comes to vanity, however, a recent study by GQ and Allure shows that men are devoting nearly as much time as women to bathroom grooming habits.
